I'm a fan of Pinder's mellotron work with the moodies, though I won't stick my neck out and say he's the best. Tuesday Afternoon (Tenor Sax and Three Violins) and Watching And Waiting (M300B Strings?) are two high points for me. I Also love McDonald's work on Epitaph and COTCK. On the other hand, as much as I love Bowie, I'd have to say that his Tron playing on Big Brother from Diamond Dogs (what sounds like some kind of brass set played in a very staccato manner, not the eight choir and not the waivery trumpet)is some of the most wretched I've ever heard. johnbarrick PS - I haven't heard that much of Barclay, Mark, so I'm not really qualified to pass judgment on Wooly's playing. Their stuff is surprisingly hard to find here in the states. Mark Pring wrote: > > > > Surprised there wasn't more support for Mike Pinder, the second best > tron player of all time. > >
